Flex PCB Capability

Flex PCB capability for both quick turn prototypes and production quantities.

Aerospace PCB Assembly and Testing Processes

Assembly and testing are crucial to ensuring aerospace PCB reliability. At Highleap, we perform surface mount technology (SMT) and through-hole assembly using IPC Class 3 standards. Our inspection and testing processes include AOI, X-ray inspection, in-circuit testing (ICT), and functional testing. We also offer flying probe and environmental stress screening (ESS) to simulate real-world operating conditions. These steps ensure each aerospace PCB meets stringent quality and performance benchmarks.

High Density Interconnect (HDI)

As printed circuit board (PCB) form factors decrease and functionality increases, the result is a dense packaging challenge that often must incorporate blind and buried vias, laser microvias, via-in-pad and complex stackups. The potential for electromagnetic interference (EMI) to impact design performance is high.

AdvancedPCB’s experienced designers, which have a strong working knowledge of EMI principles, work closely with product engineers to ensure that packaging complexity does not translate into issues in signal or power integrity. This approach to PCB solvability and a focus on electrical integrity and end product manufacturability help ensure a workable layout on the first spin. Key elements contributing to efficient HDI layout includes:
